It concerns a couple of krill named Will and Bill (voiced by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon) who strike out on their own because Will wants a life beyond the school and dreams of becoming a predator instead of prey. The best thing here is a comic-relief subplot that has very little to do with the main story. It’s up to the four birds to save everyone. Eric only gets a chance to redeem himself after he, his dad, and two of Eric’s friends are separated from the colony by shifting ice shelves that leave the colony stranded without food. They’re proud of him even though the kid gets laughed at because he can’t dance. The story picks up with emperor penguins Mumble (voiced by Elijah Wood) and Gloria (voiced by Alecia Moore, better known as the pop singer Pink), now the parents of a male penguin chick named Eric (voiced by Ava Acres). Which won’t stop a new batch of little kids from flocking to it and dragging their parents along while their older siblings are off watching the new Twilight movie. So now we’ve got Happy Feet Two, and it’s even messier and weirder than the original.
I’m still trying to figure out how the disjointed and heavy-handed Happy Feet got such great reviews five years ago, but there’s no secret as to why it was such a big box-office hit: Six-year-old kids can’t resist the sight of cute animated penguins singing and dancing to Justin Timberlake songs.
